Nid. Century Hybrid Silies 
For literally hundreds of years fruitless attempts have been made 
to cross the Umbellatum and Tigrinum Lilies in Europe. Finally 
and possibly because of more favorable conditions. this feat was 
accomplished a few years ago in Oregon. The results are astound- 
ing and sensational. The cross produced magnificent plants 4 to 
5 feet tall, rigid stems which do not require staking, beautifully 
formed flowers growing in big open clusters. Foolproof and _ per- 
fectly hardy; they will grow anywhere. Here at last is what every 
gardener has been waiting for—Lilies that will grow, multiply and 
live under almost any conditions. From the hundreds of seedlings 
were selected eight superb and distinct, long blooming varieties 
which we now have the pleasure of offering you. We cannot say 
too much about these remarkable new Hybrids. Be sure and plant 
a set of them this year and when you see the results, we are sure 
youll be more enthusiastic about them than we. This group of 
Lilies is truly a horticultural sensation.

MID-CENTURY HYBRID LILIES 
IN MIXED COLORS 
Last year for the first time we offered a number of named varieties 
of the Mid-Century Lilies. The response was so overwhelming that we 
found ourselves oversold even before the normal season opened. This 
year with still only limited quantities available of the named varieties, 
we decided to offer a mixture consisting not only of the kinds offered 
but including hundreds of fine hybrids as well. We guarantee this mix- 
ture to contain only the choicest of our new hybrids in a range of most 
brilliant colors. 
Three $3.50, Doz. $13.75, 25 $26.25
